At the end of the day, all decisions are up to you. You don’t have to adhere to any specific set of rules!

1. As a general rule, the width of the mat and the frame moulding should be obviously different. For example, if the matting is 3" wide, the moulding should be 2" wide (or less) or 4" wide (or more).

Regular glass:

Mounting and Lamination adds a professional quality finish to your prints and more importantly, ‍it increases their longevity by providing significant stability and protection to your enlargements.

Adding a hard backing material, like our Smooth Mount or Foamcore, increases the strength and rigidity of your print. In hot and humid environments a large, unmounted print will expand and contract over time, causing it to ripple, sag and stick to frame glass which permanently damages your photograph. Adding an acid-free mounting material substantially increases the lifetime of your print and prevents these negative events from occurring.

MOUNTING

Lamination protects against temperature fluctuations and humidity that can cause prints to stick to frame glass, while increasing the overall lifetime of your print.

MOUNTING

The Mounting and Laminating process adds an additional 2 Business Days to your print order, so you’re looking at anywhere from 3-5 Business Days total for adding Mounting and/or Lamination to your prints.

Fine Art Scanning and Reproduction is for anyone who produces original artwork that wishes to make digital or printed replicas for resale or archiving purposes.

Yes, absolutely. We offer two different ways to copy your art: a Fine Art Scan or Camera Copy.

Fine Art Scanning

We offer a Shoebox Scan service for scanning large numbers of photographs at once and a Slide Scanning service for scanning large numbers of slides.

Shoebox Scanning (all prices plus tax):

Typical turnaround time is 2-3 weeks. This can increase or decrease, depending on the time of year and/or the amount of slides/prints in your order! If you need a more exact timeframe or are in a rush, just give us a call.

Our Shoebox Scanning service can handle print sizes ranging from 2.5x3.5" (wallet size) to 8x12", and can be in either colour or black and white. Anything larger than 8x12 needs to be scanned on our larger scanners and is subject to those prices.

Our Slide Scanning service is appropriate for 135mm and 126mm mounted slides only.

A Canvas Wrap is an image printed directly onto poly-cotton Canvas and hand-stretched over a wooden frame. They don't require a frame, and come ready-to-hang in your favourite space.

We offer Canvas Wraps in two different depths: Gallery and Regular. These terms refer to how "deep" your canvas is; the distance from the wall and the face/front of your Canvas.

Whether you want a Gallery or Regular canvas wrap, you will need to choose between an Image or Colour Wrap.

Our photo restorations start at $70+HST ($20 set-up fee + $50 minimum). This would be for the most basic of fixes.

Any restoration, no matter the damage, will take approximately 2-3 weeks to complete.

No, unfortunately we cannot restore your original photograph.

The most common restorations we do include:

All photo restorations are tedious and time-consuming, sometimes even requiring research to be done before the work can begin or while it's already in progress. Your original needs to be scanned, and if it can't be scanned (due to size or quality/texture/damage issues) we have to make a Camera Copy, which gets complicated when trying to capture each and every detail. Professional quality is our focus over anything else as we strive to provide the most natural and seamless work that we can, rather than fast work that can look cut-and-pasted.

Yes! And you don't need to make an appointment - just pop in during our regular business hours,  Monday through Saturday.

No. Just pop into either of our locations during regular business hours (if possible, 30 minutes before closing) and you’ll be able to walk out with your new passport pictures in ten minutes or less!

One set (includes 2 printed photos or digital file): $21.99 plus tax‍

Yes, we also offer:

Yes, if your child can sit up!  We use a stool, so they must be able to sit up on their own with zero or very minimal help from Mom or Dad. You’ll be allowed to crouch close by for safety, but your pictures will be rejected by Passport Canada if they can see your hands holding your child.

From start to finish, you can be in and out of the store with your new passport pictures in less than 10 minutes! Please allow for an extra 10 minutes if you are having photos taken of your child.

Passport Canada requires you to have a neutral facial expression (eyes open and visible, looking straight at the camera with a closed mouth, no smiling or frowning).

Taking pictures of children can be difficult - but add strict Passport Canada rules, and it can be downright frustrating for parents!
